One hand gives, "'Endgame" for US mission in Iraq"
And the other takes away, "However, the US general leading US troops in Iraq has said he expects some soldiers to stay in cities beyond June."
Checking Germany, Japan, Korea, Okinawa, and the Phillipines, American troops will leave only after the citizens riot against their presence. The determination of the US to have troops posted all over the world is all that's needed to demonstrate a persistent imperialism.
If history is a judge, the US will not leave Iraq until the Iraqis physically throw the troops out.
